1652 Large Planchet Pine Tree ShillingVery Rare Noe-6.1, XF40

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet XF40 PCGS.
Noe-6.1, W-720, Salmon 5-Di, R.7. 69.91 gn. No pellets at
trunk. First described by Richard Picker, Noe-6.1 is a very rare
variant of Noe-6 distinguished by Boston Mint re-engraving of the
letters IN M on the lower obverse. In particular, the I is short
and sans serif with a pointed end. A different example of Noe-6.1
appears in lot 110 of the Hain Family Collection (Stack's, 1/2002),
where it is stated "we have not recorded another." The die state is
later than Noe-6 with prominent breaks on the reverse above the 6
in the date and through the M in DOM. The deep lavender-brown
surfaces are wavy due to rocker press manufacture. Listed on page
39 of the 2013 Guide Book. (PCGS# 23)
